To all whom it may concern Be itknown that we, ALFRED W. HANING- '10s, acitizen of the United States, and a resident of the cit of New York,borough of Brooklyn, in tie county of Kings and State of New York,ALFRED Rosrms'rum, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of thecity of New York, borough of Manhattan, in the county and State of NewYork, and Roaun'r A. SOUTHWARD, a citizen of the United States, and aresident of the city of New York, borough of Brooklyn in the county ofKings and State of ew York, have invented 'a new and ImprovedComposition for Im ression-Sheets,o which the following is. a ull,clear, and exact descri tion.

T is invention relates to a new and improved impression sheet, with-thecomposi-' tion thereof.

While impression sheets have been made, from which a single design,pattern or the like could be reproduced on cloth or paper, it has beendifficult, if not impossible, to produce more than one design from asingle sheet, especially on such articles as wood, china and the like.

An object, therefore, of this invention is to produce a new and improvedimpression sheet by means of a new composition and method, which, whenapplied in a certain manner, which also is believed to be new, can bereproduced a number of times. This and further objects, together withthe construction and combination of 1 parts, will be more fullydescribed hereina ticularly set forth in the claims.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings forming a part ofthis specification, in which similar characters of reference indicatecorresponding parts in all the views, and in which- Fi ure 1 representsa perspective view showing the first step in forming an impressionsheet; Fig. 2 is a perspective view showing a step in reproducin thedesign on the impression sheet; and ig. 3 is a perspective View showingthe final step in reproducin the design on the impression sheet.

- In t is invention, a perforated attern of paper or any other suitablematerial having any desired design, is laid on a flat surface, and ifdesired, with weights at one portion thereof, to hold the design inposition with er and par- -found after covering the whole design,

a sheet of suitable material, such as tissue paper, located subjacentthe perforated patern.

In the drawings, 1 indicates the perforated pattern, and 2 indicates thesheet beneath the pattern, which may be termed the impression sheet.which has been found to reproduce the greatest number of times is thenplaced on top of the perforated pattern and forced through theperforations in any suitable manner, as by means of a squeegee, so thatthe material of the composition is caused to adhere to the impressionsheet in the form of a reproduction of the design of the perforatedpattern, forming an impression or transfer sheet. While the compositionused may be of any suitable character, we prefer to use the following,which has been found very etiicienti- 1 pint.

Turpentine 1 pound.

Pulverized rosin Petroleum jelly, refined, slowly melted 1% pts. And asuitable pigment, such as Masurys Prussian blue or drop black in oilpint.

\Vhile these ingredients ma be mixed in any suitable manner, we pro erto dissolve one pound of pulverized rosin, cold, in the pint ofturpentine, and to the above mixture add 1% pints of electrifiedpetroleum jelly, and then add 1} pintof any suitable prepared colorground in oil, to color the preparation, such as the Prussian blue ordrop black mentioned. The impression or The special composition.

transfer sheet thus formed is capable of being reproduced on anysuitable article or surface a number of times.

The method of reproducing the design is as follows: The sheet is faceddownwardly on top of the surface on which it is desired to reproduce thedesign, and friction applied by any suitable means, such as a bluntinstrument, indicated at 4, or the back of the finger nail, so as toproduce an appreciable friction, with some pressure.

that it is neatl and clearly reproduced on the surface be ow. It hasbeen found by using this particular composition that the design from asingle sheet can be reproduced six to eight times bythis frictionmethod. When It will be a transfer copy can no longer be obtained by thefriction method, this new and improved composition will afford acomplete and clear reproduction by the hot-iron method, which consistsin passing a hot iron over the back of the impression sheet after it hasbeen placed face-downward on the surface whereon it is desired totransfer the design. This operation is shown in Fig. 3. It will thus beseen that by use of the composition and the method of applying the same,a new and et'liciellt impression sheet can be formed,- whieh, bycombined friction and hotiron method,can reproduce a comparatively largenumber of impressions of the design.

\Vhile \\'e have shown one embodiment of our invention, we do not wishto be limited to the specific details thereof, hut desire to beprotected in various changes, alterations and modifications which maycome within the scope of the appended claims.

Having thus described our invention, we claim as new and desire tosecure by Letters Patent z- 1. The herein-described composition ofmatter for use as a multiple transferring ink ofturpentine,

I i j to the dissolved rosin, and the on impression sheets, comprising amixture one pint; pulverized rosin, one pound; petroleum pints, and apigment in oil, one-half pint.

The herein described composition of matter for use as a multipletransfer ink on impression sheets, comprising a mixture of turpentine,pulverized rosin, petroleum jelly, and an oil ground pigment.

3. The process of forming a multiple transfer impression ink, comprisingthe dissolving of cold pulverized rosin in turpentinethe adding'ofrefined petroleum jelly adding of a pigment ground in oil, in the orderenumcr ated.

In testimony whereof we have signed our names to this specification inthe. presence of hvosuhscrihing witnesses.
